Wonderful tranquil place

We had a wonderful stay at the gite for over 2 weeks. It was the perfect place to visit the ehole of west Normandy includung Bayeux. It is close to the sea and to the village of Urville, where the local supermarket Utile had everyting you need and has great opening hours. The gite itself is cosy and the fact that it is near the castke with great gardens is an absolute plus. The interior is a bit outdated on some occasions an could do with some repairs, but our stay was very much ok. If i visit Normandy again, i would certainly consider booking this again.

Magnifique,très charmant avec vue de mer splendide

Bien équipé, du personnel très gentil et avec du beau temps parfait. Pas loin de la plage, dans un des coins les plus joli du Cotentin. Nous retournerons si nous revenions en Normandie.

Wheat Water Mill at Dur Ecu

We have now stayed at this property 3 times, the location is amazing, the facilities perfect. Fantasic views and great local atmosphere, very peaceful. We have stayed at different times of the year and enjoyed walking, touring the area - the coastline is spectacular. The cottage itself is very well appointed, clean and has all the self catering holidaymaker needs. The standard of accomodation is very high and the fact that pets are allowed means that we have repeat booked and intend to do so again soon.Within 20 minutes drive from Cherbourg - this really is a very attractive holiday location from the UK. The welcome received and the level of care taken to prepare both the cottage and the surrounding gardens is exceptional.The cottage makes a very relaxing location for reading, resting and chilling out with a good wine, you can eat at home or try out the local restaurants. The Normandy coastline has much to offer for all ages including the WWII landing zones, wonderful churches and beautiful beaches. The Cite de la mer Aquarium at Cherbourg is amazing including a full size decommissioned submarine - which you can tour. This cottage is perfect for couples with pets. We could not rate this cottage any higher - it's excellent !!!

séjour agréable

Environnement très agréable pour un séjour familial (2 adultes et trois enfants de moins de 6 ans). Logement confortable. A préciser néanmoins: l'escalier intérieur n'est pas adapté aux enfants en bas âge et nécessite des précautions

Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024
